MANGLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 7 ,06 dated y 1902' Application filed November 8, 1901. Serial No. 811625. (No model.)

1'0 all whom it may-concern:

Be it known that -I,--DAVID LUMGAIR, a citizen of the United States, residing at West Bay City, in thecounty" of 'Bay and State of Michigan, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements'in'Mangles; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to mangles.

The objectof the invention is to provide a mangle which shall be simple of construction, durable in use,comparatively inexpensive-of production, efficient inaction, and which may be easily'andiquickly attached in position for use to a bench or table. 1

With these'objects in. view the inventio consists of the combination of side standards, each of which consists of parallel upright bars, the inner faces of the bars of.-each standard being recessed from a point midway their length'to their; upper ends to form grooves or ways, filling-blocks clamped between said bars at their lower ends, blocks mounted to slide in said grooves or ways, a roll journaled in'bearingsformed between the contiguous -faces.of 'thefilling-blocks, a roll journaled in bearings formedin the'contiguous faces of the sliding blocks and the upper faces of the uppermost clamped fillingblocks, and means for exerting a downward pressure upon said sliding blocks.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation showing the mangle attached to an ordinary kitchen-table. Fig.2 is side' neled from. a point midway their length-to their'npper ends to form ways 4. These bars are spaced apart, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3,

and between them are located filling-blocks Sand 6. The abutting edges of the fillingblocks 5 and 6 are formed with recesses 7 to receive the trunnions of the manglingfroll 8, and the upper edge of each filling-block 6 is provided with a recess 9, which registers with p a recess lOformed in a sliding block 11.

-ter the blocks 5 and 6 are placed in position between each set of vertically-disposed bars and the'trunnions of the roll 8 suitably journaled in bearings in said blocks a bolt 12 is passed through said bars to secure the parts in proper positionand clamp the blocks 5 and 6 between the bars.

13 denotes a cross-bar bolted to the upper ends of the sidestandards, and 14 denotes sidebars bolted to the lower ends of the standards.

15 denotesa mangling-roll, the trunnions 16 of which are journaled in the bearings formed by the recesses 9 and 10.

17 denotes a cross-head, the ends of which are mounted to slide between. theupper ends 'of thevertical bars ofthe standards:

18 denote leaf-springs secured to the lower edge of said cr0ss-head,-"a11d 19 denotes a second cross-head, the ends of which project between the vertical bars of-the standards and support the ends of the springs 18 and-bear against the upper edges of the sliding blocks 11. The tension of the spring is exerted downward to hold under pressure the roll-15 in contact with the roll 8. The tension of the spring may be varied by means of set-screws 20, which extend through the cross-bar13 and engage the cross-head 17. One of the-rolls- 8, for instanceis provided with a crank 21, by means of which it may be rotated, and the movement of this roll may be transmitted to the roll 15 by providing the trunnionon the roll 8 with a gear-wheel 22, which meshes with a'gear-wheel23, which is secured to the trunnion on the roll 15.

24 denotes two shelves, each being secured to the standards in any suitable manner, one at the front and the other at the rear of the rolls, with their upper surfaces flush withthe points of contact of the two rolls. v 1

The operation of the machine is as follows:

The material to be mangled is placed upon one of the shelves iand is fedito the rolls in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig. 2. If it be desired to pass the material between the rolls a second time, the operator reaches over the upper roll 15 with his hand and takes hold of the material as it is passing between the rolls and partially feeds it over the top r011, when it will again be fed between the two rolls. If, however, one passage of the material between the rolls is sufficient, all that the operator need to do is to feed the material to the rolls, and as it passes from the same it will be supported by the shelf on the opposite or delivery side. Any suitable means may be employed for supporting the frame of the mangle in an upright position and for securing it in such position. For instance, as shown in the drawings, I provide blocks 26, through which and the ends of the bars 14 bolts 27 pass and by means of which the mangle may be securely attached to the table.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction, mode of operation, and advantages of my invention will be readily un-v derstood without requiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, anddetails of construction may be made within the scope of the invention without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a mangle, the combination with the side standards, each of which consists of parallel upright bars, the inner faces of the bars of each standard being recessed from a point midway their length to their upper ends to form grooves or ways, filling-blocks clamped between said bars at their lower ends, blocks mounted to slide in said grooves or ways, a rolljournaled in bearings formed between the contiguous faces of the filling-blocks, a roll journaled in bearings formed in the contiguous faces of the sliding blocks and the upper faces of the uppermost clamped filling-blocks, and means for exerting a downward pressure upon said sliding blocks, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
